Some 200 students who sat for masters level examination set ablaze the Central Department of Education, Kirtipur under the Tribhuvan University, for utter negligence in copy checking and providing poor marks (nepalnews.com).
My questions to these very very talent students who were not supposed to get poor marks:
1) Whith whom are they fighting by setting fire in their own class room ?
2) Who will be suffered the most ?
3) A degree awarded by such university, which has the tradition of students closing the classroom to participate in the meaningless strikes called by political parties, boycotting the exam if the question can not be answered and setting fire to the colleges if they get the poor mark, has any weight....any value.....yes yes even they get A++++++++++++ grade or fullmark ? and one thing that does not make sense to me still they want to have that degree not with poor mark !
4) "DEGREE PADHER HOINA LADER LINU PARDACHHA" is this their motto ?
What do you think sajha basi, can their action be justified ? Do they still deserve a degree ?

It's less academic, more politics. Dumb older guys blinded by wrong beliefs, matured physically but immature mentally. No proper understanding of how an educational system is tied with the country's prosperity, wellness and value of the people. To set fire to one of the oldest university, they lack the mentality of a person deserving a degreee, forget about masters. Basically they have hit their own feet with the axe. Shame, shame, shame. Get a life and be more responsibe.
By the way Mustange....Are U really from Mustang? cause I know a lot and have lots of friends fro there.

Those students are M.Ed. 1st year batch.
If the students from the Education Department of TU opt for putting fire to their own dept., I wonder what kind of educationists these buggers gonna be like for Nepal.
What a pathetic situation!!!

As a student (until recently) of Chinese language at Kathmandu's Biswo Bhasa Campus, allow me to share my observation:
Often, it's not the 'regular' students who engage in such vandalism. Such students, often financilly poor and hungry to learn, quietly attend college to study. They see mastering a language as a way to get better jobs in thr tourism sector or as a way to leave the country.
It's often the so-called 'union' students -- often Nepalis in their mid to late 30s, the kind who are perpetual students, and the kind who expect to get into politics through their respective political parties ko tickets -- who incite or start the acts of vandalism. These union students walk around the campus as though they were the Mafia.
When these Mafia-like students set fire to buildings and so on, other real and regular students quietly and helplessly watch the destruction, unable to do anything.
Most likely, the fire was started by these union students, with a few MEd students joining in later.
BTW, Nepali colleges are unique in the world in that union students have the power to admit regular students. I mean, where else in the world students admit other students to colleges?

UNICEF says leave schools alone
(source: Nepali Times)
MIN BAJRACHARYA
UNICEF representative in Nepal, Suomi Sakai, has said the right to education is hampered when conflict enters the classroom and the rights of children to education and security are taken away.
Responding to a petition delivered Tuesday to UNICEF by the Concerned Citizens for a Democratic Nepal, protesting the actions of political unions against private schools, Sakai said, Not even schools have provided a safe haven for children. This is unacceptable.
The citizens group said that they were approaching the international agency dealing with children because the mainsteam parties were violating Nepali childrens right to education by using schools as the target of political action. On Wednesday, they met leaders of the UML and the Nepali Congress and handed over letters telling them to keep politics out of schools.
The petitions demand that schools be declared zones of peace and not be used as zones for political action. Teachers and heads of schools should not be targetted, educators must be given due respect and the locking up of schools by student groups must be condemned. The petitions state that the actions against private schools violate the Conventions on the Rights of the Child, the Millennium Development Goals, as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The last instrument confirm that the parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education for their children, be they parochial, religious, vocational or private schools.
The government has a fundamental duty to protect schools from revolutionaries and if the government is not able to do so, then the international community has the duty to step in and act, says the petition.
In her response to the petition to UNICEF, set out in a press release, Sakai also said, When conflict enters the classroom, when schools are disrupted or closed, when teachers are harassed, education suffers even further. It is hard for children to wake up each morning not knowing whether their schools will open. And it is devastating for children to witness threats and violent acts at school.
